update..

Solar Soarer v1.2 is being updated to v1.3, but it is taking just a little bit longer than I had hoped. the reason it is taking so long is because, instead of foam board, I am now using foam core hot wire cutouts (generously donated by PROJX on the RCG forum). I have currently gone through about two rolls of packing tape to coat the 8' wingspan, and I'm still not done! I am also trying to install a Parkzone Calypso folding prop, which is taking FOREVER because it became very unbalanced when I put it on the shaft. Also, another update on the foam board DLG: it glided OK but wouldn't launch. I think the trick to building a foam board DLG is to make it light enough to glide, yet heavy enough to launch. I tried a flying wing design (pictures coming soon) but now I think I need to make it into a plane with a boom and a tail. Remember, comments and suggestions are key to the building process, so please, give me some!
